Hello,
My name is adam; I purchased a Gigabyte motherboard (Model GA-890GPA-UD3H Revision 1.0), The hardware currently installed in this mother board is as follows:
CPU AMD|ATH II X4 630 AM3 RT model # ADX630wfgibox
RAM: MEM 2Gx2|GSKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL (4gb)
HD 500G|WD 7K 16M SATA2 WD5000AAKS;
PSU ROSEWILL| 700W RV2-700 RT
Last year I had submitted ticket trying to trouble shoot a Pre-operating screen issue, where during motherboard screen it would appear Scrambled, and pixelated with red, and green/blue boxes. After following the suggestion i switched from the stock Power supply that came with the raidmax case, to a roswill PSU ROSEWILL| 700W RV2-700 RT.

After replacing the Powersupply, the motherboard screen scramble went away upon random reboots, but now i have a problem that is occurring that has me baffled. The computer Shuts down with a black screen, and i cannot use the power button or reset button to control the restart or finish the shut down (fans, lights, all still running, but the input to the monitor and usb devices stops, and the system stays dormat in that state untill power supply is tripped on the back with the switch. The main issue im noticing every single time before the power interruption issue is what i expect to be the correlating cause;
Every single time my computer goes into this state, its always preceding this filter manager event (no longer then 2-6 seconds), filter manager does not appear in logs except preceding the power interruption/crash. I do receive occasional blue screens, but i have tried switching ram sticks out and it still occurs with either one, im planning on running memtest soon but i doubt is the cause, as they were bought brand new with the motherboard ect...
I dont really know what the next step is to take because it says during BIOS update any interruption can result in the system to malfunction/not boot properly. I dont really think its worth the risk to try, even in checkdisk run at beginning i can receive this black screen, or in safe mode. Im monitoring the core and pc temps, the highest ive seen is 105 Fahrenheit, and i have checked around and discussed average temps, this does not seem to exceed a high or unstable temperature for this core to operate at under normal circumstances.
Im pretty much using this forum as last resort to reach out and maybe get some advice on where to go next in terms of testing, and how can i even test anything if the system seems to black screen so often? I dont want to damage the motherboard by attempting to update something while experiencing instability. I also notice a weird "red verticle lines" going accross my screen when a game or graphic heavy program is open in the back ground, it can change with the changing of the custom sizing of a window, so if i was to change to make the window bigger, the lines might disappear untill i switch windows and again they are seen. Can also happen outside of any game, just at desktop and see faint red lines, except when its a white background, the lines are light blue.... pretty discouraging
win 7 64bit as well for o/s ...
thx for your time
